Get inside a Magnum, that’s where things go downhill fast, the outside isn't too bad.

It looked old when it was new, which, I think, was meant to be that way.

It's far from sleek.

That pic only reminds me that the magnum shape is not aging well.

That’s great to hear about the levels. My thought immediately went to the people who don’t get this game in the first few weeks/months and pick it up after being recommended only to find all the high value structure points are occupied and they’re forced to find new avenues to level up 

Outer Worlds is great, fantastic even, but not very long, you’ll be wrapped up on your first run in no time. 

Thanks for the tips! I’m going to start playing tomorrow, but I’m pretty sure I won’t make much headway until my vacation over Thanksgiving week. I'm hoping to knock out The Outer Worlds by then so I can just focus on this.

Excellent reply and what you mention about the Athletic rings 100% true. Intelligent media for the last 20 years is in decline, just as it is with print media.

I doubt, even with everything in this game, that KojiPro would have someone called “theoriginalDONG” or whatever it was running around the game world. I don’t think there were a ton of us but enough that I recognized some Polygon folks and YouTubers like YongYea.

The love-it-or-hate it reviews I'm seeing are to be expected, I suppose, tho I trust Heather's judgment more than most. I suppose I'm wondering how many people there really are on these servers pre release, vs "players" that are really just help planted by the developers. 

Heather, this is my favourite review of yours in a while out of consistently great articles; it’s wonderful and insightful. Tim, I’m only twenty-odd minutes into the hour, but it’s typically playfully elegant and soothing to listen to.

Yeah, Tim saw some of my stuff. Chris (Person) did too. Tim didn’t really build as much as I did though, so I didn’t catch many of his things. I made a real point of it: a bridge outside of the first city, a silly message near a plot-ruined bike, the aforementioned ziplines.

As I understand it, the game sort of culls…

God, this review is amazing. Thanks Heather (and also Tim for the video). Curious though, did you ever encounter Tim’s creations on your server or vice versa?

wild that the first good video game ever made also generated the best game review i’ve ever read

Grade B is the shiznit, but you should take the extra time while you’re in New Hampshire to acquire some of the utterly superior maple syrup produced on the better side of the Connecticut River.

This is the correct take.

This comment is about nothing. Just wanting to celebrate the ability to post a comment while it’s still possible.

She MARRIED him. She completely and utterly signed up for this, after his two other divorces and decades of total bullshit her not knowing is like someone saying “Holy shit everyone the sky is BLUE!!!!!1" and genuinely meaning it.

She is complicit. No sympathy. Ever.

No, don’t feel anything for that Viper. She was/is a ‘Birther’ as much as her Vile husband. There’s plenty of video out there of her spewing the lies!
